Save the World

The Storm came without warning and 98% of the world's population vanished … then came the monsters. You and up to four players lead the world's remaining Heroes in a battle to save survivors and hold back the monster hordes.

Explore a large, destructible world where no two games are ever the same. Build huge forts, craft exotic weapons, find loot and level up your Heroes.

Save the World and Fortnite were synonymous at one time—buying Fortnite meant buying Save the World. However, with the release of the PvP mode Battle Royale, Epic Games and most players started referring to Fortnite as the collection of two different games: Save the World is the paid PvE Campaign, and Battle Royale is the free-to-play PvP game mode. Fortnite Save The World will be Free-to-play in 2019 (original release date was "late 2018", but it was delayed due to Epic thinking "It's not complete yet, and we want to expand the story before realising it as Free-To-Play").

If you're out there, we need your help! The storm came, and the monsters followed. They took everything: our towns, even our families. The few of us left are in serious danger... Now it's the time to fight back! All we need is a leader. And that's you. Sure it'll be dangerous. I mean, yeah, there's monsters (a lot of monsters!) but we've got massive forts, killer traps, and piles of loot. If we stick together, they don't stand a chance. This is our world, and it's time to take it back!

In Save the World, the player takes on the role of one of the numerous Heroes, with the task of fighting against The Storm, rescuing Survivors, building structures, and upgrading and expanding a Shield Device to protect the area. Though your tasks are straightforward, Save the World offers multiple levels of progression for players to utilize in order to better reach their goal.

Unlike Heroes, which feature fixed Perks and Bonuses, the Perks and Bonuses on Weapon Schematics are random. Later on in the game the player has the choice to Upgrade and Strengthen the weapon's Perks and Bonuses.

The player must own a Weapon Schematic to be able craft the Weapon they wish to use.

Possessing the appropriate Materials to be able to craft a specific Weapon from a Weapon Schematic.

Weapons that have already been crafted can also be acquired by looting Treasure Chests, Storm Chests, or as loot drops from killing various enemies. These Weapons and their subsequent Perks will always be random.

Weapons wear out and break over time, and as such their use will be limited by their inherent durability. Weapons can be used until they break, or recycled in order to reclaim some of the crafting materials which were used up in its creation.

Much like Heroes, Survivors come in the form of cards that can be Upgraded and Evolved. They come with a myriad of bonuses.

Survivors are slotted into Survivor Squads, teams which are unlocked by purchasing nodes on the Skills tab. The accumulated stats of the Survivors slotted into the Survivor Squads affect the F.O.R.T. Stats (bonuses to Hero Strengths) and the player's Power Level (which missions they are allowed to access). Only Lead Survivors, who determine proportionally a larger percentage of F.O.R.T. Stats, can be slotted into the Leader slot for each squad. Survivors can be acquired through Loot Llamas and as Rewards.

Note: In Patch 6.30 The Skill Trees were removed due to the new Front-End Improvments Update. All players that got rewards from the Skill And Research Trees were given some free rewards. The Research Tab is still in game, but the Skill tree is now the Upgrade Tab. Adidionally Leveling up still rewards skill points , but not everytime. instead it gives random rewards and after a couple of Levels gives Skill points.

Missions , Quests, and Events are where the player actually uses their Hero to Save the World.

Whenever a player enters the game world, they are always tasked with a Mission, such as rescuing survivors or building a bomb. The victory condition for each Mission must be met in order for the Mission to be considered Completed.

A Quest describes an additional task or set of tasks which must be completed in order to progress the Quest path. Quests might task a player with killing a certain amount of husks, the collection of certain Quest Items, or completing multiple Missions of a certain type. Every Quest provides Rewards upon completion.

Selecting "Play Now" on the Play tab places the player into a Mission queue that will satisfy the current requirement for Save the World's Main Quest path.

Completing the Main Quest path is the only way to reach higher-level requirement Map Locations.

Selecting "View Event" while on the Play tab brings up the player's current Event Quest progression. Selecting "Play Now" on this Event Quest screen places the player into a mission queue that will provide the player an opportunity to meet some or all of the current requirements for the current Event Quest path.

Players can navigate to a specific Map Location and see which Missions are available. Players can use this screen to choose a Mission based on its type or what rewards it offers.
